DEFINITION

Classification: 337/207

(under subclass 186) Subject matter wherein the housing, casing or support structure includes significantly recited details of means whereby the housing or casing is adapted to be attached to or supported from an external surface or object. For example, the housing may be attached to a cross-arm, a rail, an electrical conductor, etc.

(1) Note. In subclasses 187+ the electrical circuit to be protected is completed through the components within the housing. The connector means may serve also as an attaching means as in indented subclass 193, for example. The attaching means in subclass 207 is merely a means of supporting the housing and is independent of any electrical connector structure.
